So with AoN getting the scenario stat blocks functionality, I am guessing that answers that question.

But my biggest worry is still not commented on. Is there any consideration happening about the 2 level range and its significant impact on the wrangling of physical venues and smaller conventions?

I have been stalking the My Mini Factory "Paizo Printables" page, but have yet to see anything drop on there besides the original free Kobold figure. Any more information on when we will see some Starfinder figures?

I have reported this one to CS, but my subscription orders did not combine for postage, but spawned two separate orders so doubled the postage to Australia. Oww....

The Store page for maps is both Pathfinder and Starfinder, and all the types of map products maps jumbled together, with no way to filter. The "Sort by" dropdown does nothing.

I was trying to filter by newest to make sure I had not missed a map this month, as my subscription went missing in the change.

Starfinder and Pathfinder Society scenarios added to their respective "Coming Soon" tiles, as there is currently no way to see upcoming titles in those two lines.

To whoever packed my order, thanks for the little cat drawing on the inside flap of the box. It made me smile after a long day.

Actually, I do remember something about that, as I got mine via Sub, but don't think I ever got the replacement

I was coming here to note the same thing, and wonder if anything was done about it.

There are still table counts showing for SFS2 on my account. So maybe they will count for something, sometime...

I don't like the shorter scenario length for our particular set-up, but understand it for other time-constrained set-ups.

I don't like the removal of stat blocks, it seems to be a quality of life change we fought for that is now taken away, making things that bit harder (Hilary said it better).

But the 2-level bands, without the stuff that potentially makes it work for SFS2, is going to break things. We will now have hard brackets with no overlap. I am frequently having new players rock up to play at my venue (a good place to be), but this will make it a lot harder to wrangle and keep them wanting to come back.

I have two suggestions to potentially make it work:

One: like SFS2, allow characters to be created at 1, 3, 5 and 7. Yes, there are some downsides to this, but the 2-level bands mean the upside is greater.
Two: Look at how pregen credit can be applied. With treasure bundles making the gold easy to calculate, it should be possible to apply the credit to any character the level of the pregen or below, allowing people to advance into the next bracket.

The first meta-plot is technically 1.00 (3rd level pregens only). The first meta-plot you can play with your own character is 1.01.

Nice find, I will now have a figure for next time I run something with Rain in it.

One thing that I noticed, that I liked is that there is exactly 6 meta-plot 1-2 scenarios before the first 3-4, so I have two characters, one is just for the Meta-plot, and the other is more free roaming

Any Information on the date of release for the Starfinder Iconics STLs. I am running Starfinder at the Australian Comic Con later this month and would love actual figures to represent to Iconics.

This is a great idea. I fully support it. I have a number of players where sanctioning is part of the value of an adventure, so let's get them invested and playing!!

I think the AP change is broadly positive. But from a GM and organiser POV, the PFS2 changes are a step backwards.

I am ambivalent about the timing change as we don't have firm timing at our venue, but I dislike the loss of the appendices that we fought to include.

But the 1-2 level range, without the SFS2 changes that makes it work,is awful. Many people upthread have said it better, but I would ask whoever makes decisions on PFS to at least give the ability to make characters at 1, 3, 5 and 7 like SFS2.

The SFS one went from $9 to $6 when they changed the length and level range for SFS2, hopefully the same will happen here.

Scarab Sages 4/5 5/55/55/5 **** Venture-Captain, Australia—NSW—Greater West

Thanks for that, most appreciated

Well Done! Three cheers!!!

ID cards show Stars and Novas, but Glyphs don't show.

If you are looking for the reporting sheets for a normal scenario, they are found in the back of the scenario, normally the third last page.

You do not report the gold and XP gains online, they are recorded on the Chronicle sheets that you hand out to each player (and yourself if you are the GM). The chronicle sheet for the scenario is found as the last page of the scenario.

If you are looking for the reporting for the beginner box (assuming you mean PF2), it can be found on the product page here: Beginner Box (remastered) product page

My run with Hesla was a bit anti-climatic, as the group disarmed her with a crit on the disarm attempt at the top of the second round. She has no Athletics, so no way to get Riftcarver back. I was also one AcP off having the Hazard.

The scenario also gives no guidance as to what is her native abilities, and what she gets from Riftcarver. Some are obvious, but some are not.

If you have a smart party, be prepared.

If I ran it again, I would potentially swap her Acrobatics to Athletics, as it seemed to be an obvious oversight.

Do we know when or how the STLs become available. I must admit I read them as being available on the 31st July, but maybe misunderstood.

Adventure Path Charter Subscriber; Pathfinder Maps, Starfinder Maps Subscriber

Do has anyone seen the promised Starfinder STLs anywhere in the wild? I have looked, but not found

Alex has clarified further up this thread that it will work the same as other programs.

Demiplane is probably the closest to Beyond, but if you are looking at a free Character Builder Hephaistos is going to support SF2 (https://hephaistos.azurewebsites.net/)

They were probably the best supported character generator for SF1.

Will there be a online stream of any announcements during Gencon? If so, is there a schedule?

I can say this is straight out worse for me. I get everything I want from Paizo via my subscriptions (postage to Australia is just too expensive for me to want to go all in). So I lose my legacy 15% advantage for gold I will never spend.

I cannot speak for Paizo, but I have found that framing matting is about the perfect width. My local framing place sells bags of offcuts really cheaply

This was answered in the Paizocon twitch blog forum. The streams will be on Twitch for a week, and then be on Youtube

Sorry to tell you, but PFS2 is a completely new campaign, so you cannot port your character or fame across, you will need to start again at 1st level. In fact fame is not a thing in PFS2.

Thanks for the answer, Maya.

As long as it stays there for the first 24 hours then we are right to rock for our peer pressure painting, pizza and Paizo panels day :)

Is the Panels going to also be recorded on Twitch, like in the past. I have watched them slightly lagged in the past (the keynote starts at 3am here), but I noticed that your Twitch channel is not showing anything after 2019, which makes me nervous.

Hi there,

I was just setting up some technology to watch next week's Paizo panels on Twitch, and noticed that no recent videos (after 2019) are showing on the twitch channel.

In previous years I have been able to go onto Twitch and watch the Panels with a bit of a lag (easier for the Australian timezone). Are the Paizocon panels going to be recorded on Twitch to watch, not live only?

Congrats on the 5 Novas, James.

Congrats also to Alex on his well deserved promotion, an acknowledgement of all his excellent work.

So, all scenarios are repeatable, but do we know if some of the other formats will also fall under that rule (I am looking at you, Free RPG Day adventures)

The only one I can think of is in Reaper Miniatures "Geeks"

Scarab Sages 4/5 5/55/55/5 **** Venture-Captain, Australia—NSW—Greater West

It is an interesting question, as the Free RPG Day offering is a SF2 Adventure....just before the actual Org Play starts at Gencon.

Congradulations to all the 5 glyph GMs. We all appreciate the work put in to get there, and I am sure all your players also appreciate it.

That is fantastic news, thanks for the update

Scarab Sages

That is the first adventure, but adventure paths are much longer, and normally take the character through about 10 levels. Nothing like that has been announced as yet.
